Re: 55 Wagon Progress

Thanks guys! We just had to improve over the plain looking version that came in the door, I'm real pleased with the outcome.


Here's the fabrication of our hinge covers for the wagon, since the originals didn't fit well at all. Some 1-3/16 round stock was used on the magnetic brake to provide a much closer matching radius profile, and some severe stretching was done along the bottom flange and up into the radius.
















The reverse crease was added using a dulled and rounded press brake die section as an anvil.

Much nicer look over the stock ones. While I was working on those, Jared has been prepping our stainless trim parts for polishing/buffing...
